Oh, death has bound us all
With his tyrant hands, in his iron bands
Oh, vanity
Nothing satisfies here beneath these skies
Every pleasure was a curse; I hated it
Every love and every like was a twisted thing
Got a hangdog, heavy, leaden soul
And leaden gray went all my gold
Like diamonds turned back into coal
Oh, death has bound us all
With his tyrant hands, in his iron bands
Oh, vanity
Nothing satisfies here beneath these skies
This black earth's hungry, ravenous
This black earth's gonna take my sons
My wife and daughters, all of us
This black earth's hungry to swallow up
Won't take no bribe, no gold, no fuss
Death has bound us all
With his tyrant hands, in his iron bands
Oh, vanity
Nothing satisfies here beneath these skies
Whoa, oh
Well they say that there's a time to love
And a time to hate-oh, don't I know
Caught up in madness, Adam's sons
Killers, thieves, even kith and kin
Bright envy-green, got a stone in hand
